about

The doctor told my Mom he didn't even have to smack me on the ass to get me to start making noise after I was born and that I had a good set of lungs.

lyrics

STEP RIGHT UP AND PLACE YOUR BETS


From the instant our little spirit decides
“Screw it” and bolts for the womb's door
And ole sawbones welcomes us to this World with a smack on the ass
We suck in all it's pain and glory
Burning our tiny lungs
Earth's oxygen
For the very first time

Beginning here
It's all one magnificent gamble
A dizzying, ever-expanding, incomprehensible Roulette Wheel

But why we so fret a game played on the house's money
Is beyond me
